Biography
Poklonskaya was born in Crimea and graduated from the University of Internal Affairs in Yalta. After working in Simferopol as an inter-district environmental prosecutor, she moved to the Prosecutor General's Office in Ukraine's capital of Kiev. In March 2014, after the prosecutor of Crimea remained loyal to the new government of Oleksandr Turchynov, and four men turned down the position, Poklonskaya accepted the position of Prosecutor of Crimea from President Sergei Aksyonov. A vocal opponent of the new government in the Ukraine who called the revolution "anti-constitutional", she was stripped of her Ukrainian titles after the Republic of Crimea gained independence on 16 March 2014.
